Typical Republican: he fucks up, so he blames the help.

When I read the headline, given its scatalogical phrasing I thought he was talking about David Vitter. What a party.

Carl Quintanilla asked a financial question and Cruz went off on a rant.
Reince’s real problem is how little time Jeb! got compared to the other candidates. His private twitter/email must have been off the charts with the Establishment’s flunkies complaining.

He’s been pissed off since he first realized what his parents had named him.

When you have no answers, get pissed at those asking the questions. The repug way.

He is absolutely correct. The debate was a total crap sandwich.
All CNBC can be held responsible for is the plate, the pickle and the bread. The Republicans are the ones who provided what went between the two slices.

Bottom line is, the GOP is fractured and bleeding out and Preibus knows it.
Hillary will win in a landslide and there’s nothing he can do about it but blame others for the sorry state his party is in.

What will Priebus do to solve the problem that every Republican candidate is a crap sandwich?

You know, if this were Democrats saying this, the Rethugs would accuse us of “whining” and tell us to “put on our big boy pants and deal with it.” (I can especially see Fiorina spewing this nasty BS). Of course you’re right - the GOP is so incredibly fractured and untethered from anything resembling the establishment GOP that there’s little that will staunch the bleeding.

So I figure the upshot of this will be Faux Noise running all the debates and all questions will contain nothing of value to the voters.
Here is the thing: poll qualifications for kiddie table will begin to diminish as candidates drop out. And they will drop out. The big money is not going to go to Rand or Lindsay or Piyush. That will all dry up before year end. I cannot imagine the GOP primary voters being willing to deal with a dozen candidates on their ballot.
This will thin out.
As far as the content of the debate, the GOP should take a hard look at the Democratic debate. It may have been boring as hell, but the questions were reasonable and the candidates actually answered them.

What good it does to press GOP candidates with economic themed questions puzzles me in the first place. To a person they say their chief policy goal will be the elimination of taxes, resulting in deficits of trillions of dollars according to analysis by various budget think tanks across the entire political spectrum. Then they dispute the analysis and basically say “Trust me, we’ll just do it, the supply side/trickle down/unleash the engine of the people dynamic will show nearly every learned, credentialed, respected economist on the planet will be proven wrong.”
Let’s get Mikey to try it, he’ll eat anything!

Fractured and bleeding out.They don’t believe in anything. After 40 years of convincing themselves that trickle down works, they can’t point to its success anywhere. After taking us into two wars on lies, resulting in us destabilizing half the planet, they are not trusted on the world stage to do the right thing. Their enemies are the liberals, the ones who make the trains run on time, pay the bills, develop workable solutions, and take an inclusive and expansive approach to how we treat people. Imagine how hard that is for conservatives to compete with.

Very well put, steviedee111. Even basic economic, checkbook balancing isn’t their thing anymore–hasn’t been since Reagan. I believe Carter was the last president to present a balanced budget to Congress (it didn’t go through that way, but at least Carter was sincere and reasonable and honest).
